SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Notice of Final Decision 

The Occupational Safety and Health 

Administration (OSHA) hereby gives 

notice of the expansion of recognition of 

MET Laboratories, Inc., (MET) as a 

Nationally Recognized Testing 

Laboratory (NRTL). MET’s expansion 

covers the use of additional test 

standards. OSHA’s current scope of 

recognition for MET may be found in 

the following informational Web page: 

http://www.osha.gov/dts/otpca/nrtl/ 

met.html. 

OSHA recognition of an NRTL 

signifies that the organization has met 

the legal requirements in Section 1910.7 

of Title 29, Code of Federal Regulations 

(29 CFR 1910.7). Recognition is an 

acknowledgment that the organization 

can perform independent safety testing 

and certification of the specific products 

covered within its scope of recognition 

and is not a delegation or grant of 

government authority. As a result of 

recognition, employers may use 

products properly approved by the 

NRTL to meet OSHA standards that 

require testing and certification. 

The Agency processes applications by 

an NRTL for initial recognition or for 

expansion or renewal of this recognition 

following requirements in Appendix A 

to 29 CFR 1910.7. This appendix 

requires that the Agency publish two 

notices in the Federal Register in 

processing an application. In the first 

notice, OSHA announces the 

application and provides its preliminary 

finding and, in the second notice, the 

Agency provides its final decision on 

the application. These notices set forth 

the NRTL’s scope of recognition or 

modifications of that scope. We 

maintain an informational Web page for 

each NRTL that details its scope of 

recognition. These pages can be 

accessed from our Web site at http:// 

www.osha.gov/dts/otpca/nrtl/ 

index.html. 

MET submitted an application, dated 

August 23, 2005, (see Exhibit 39–1) to 

expand its recognition to include 10 

additional test standards. MET later 

amended its application through a 

follow-up request to add 10 more test 

standards (see Exhibit 39–2). The NRTL 

Program staff determined that each of 

these standards is an ‘‘appropriate test 

standard’’ within the meaning of 29 CFR 

1910.7(c). However, one of these 

standards is already included in MET’s 

scope. Therefore, OSHA is approving 19 

test standards for the expansion. In 

connection with this request, OSHA did 

not perform an on-site review of MET’s 

NRTL testing facilities. However, NRTL 

Program assessment staff reviewed 

information pertinent to the request and 

recommended that MET’s recognition be 

expanded to include the 19 additional 

test standards listed below (see Exhibit 

39–3). 

The preliminary notice announcing 

the expansion application was 

published in the Federal Register on 

August 17, 2006 (71 FR 47532). 

Comments were requested by September 

1, but no comments were received in 

response to this notice. 

The most recent application 

processed by OSHA specifically related 

to MET’s recognition granted an 

expansion, and the final notice for this 

expansion was published on December 

5, 2005 (70 FR 72470). 

You may obtain or review copies of 

all public documents pertaining to the 

MET application by contacting the 

Docket Office, Occupational Safety and 

Health Administration, U.S. Department 

of Labor, 200 Constitution Avenue, 

NW., Room N–2625, Washington, DC, 

20210. Docket No. NRTL1–88 contains 

all materials in the record concerning 

MET’s recognition. 

The current address of the MET 

facility already recognized by OSHA is: 

MET Laboratories, Inc., 914 West 

Patapsco Avenue, Baltimore, MD 21230. 

Final Decision and Order 

NRTL Program staff has examined the 

application, the assessor’s 

recommendation, and other pertinent 

information. Based upon this 

examination and the assessor’s 

recommendation, OSHA finds that MET 

has met the requirements of 29 CFR 

1910.7 for expansion of its recognition, 

subject to the limitation and conditions 

listed below. Pursuant to the authority 

in 29 CFR 1910.7, OSHA hereby 

expands the recognition of MET, subject 

to the following limitation and 

conditions. 

Limitation 

OSHA limits the expansion of MET’s 

recognition to testing and certification 

of products for demonstration of 

conformance to the test standards listed 

below. OSHA has determined that each 

of these standards meets the 

requirements for an appropriate test 

standard, within the meaning of 29 CFR 

1910.7(c).
